Multimedia Exchange - Is it a Wheelie? - Need input

I took my IROC-Z out to the track last night and launched it very hard, i felt the front end come up a LOT with the back squatting also. From different Viewpoints, i'd like to know if yall think i pulled the driver's side wheel off the ground. even if i could slide a piece of paper under it... did it come up enough?

Also, Some funny people in the video commenting My Iroc and my buddy's Trans Am

Mine - 1989 IROC-Z 5.7L 357. full bolt-on L98 / T-5 (2 1/4" exhaust :eyes:)

His - 1996 Trans-am. Full bolt-on LT1 w/tune

Maybe...

bro, hard to tell with the video quality. Regardless, you left hard.

Too hard to tell.

I consider a wheelie when both tires leave the ground. The most you might have done is lift the front driver.

maybe...it looks like it pulled it up for just a second...but even if it didnt your close to getting it off the ground...what have you done ti the suspension

No, a wheelie is both front wheels off the ground. You just had a great launch, and pulled the left front

Suspension is nothing special, stock springs, shocks are Formula GP's, stock everything back there. Including my 7.5" 10-bolt and T-5 tranny not exploding when that clutch came off the floor. :-)

looks like a super hard launch but not a wheelie

Hmm...I'm gonna say no. Definitely not both wheels off the ground, but maybe it's a one legger wheelie? Haha nice nonetheless!

esse a coh-maro......yeah i think the drivers side tire lifted a bit. I consider a wheelie when you can lift em both

You might have had em off the ground a hair Nice launch anyway

esse a coh-maro......yeah i think the drivers side tire lifted a bit. I consider a wheelie when you can lift em both

Woah buddy. Your forgot to roll the R.

(Mmmm roll up the rim to win :) )

But I'd say you have to lift both of the to count as a wheelie...either way..nice launch!

I can't tell if any tires left the ground. I just posted to say that I'm glad your showing the LT1 community what SBC torque really is - TPI ;)

yeah man u left pretty hard looks nice how hard where u launching ur car man,

esse a coh-maro.....

I started laughing when I heard that guy in the background. I had to watch it twice cause I missed it the first time I was laughing.

I hate to burst your bubble... but I dont think ya pulled it off the ground bro.

yeah man u left pretty hard looks nice how hard where u launching ur car man,

5k launch, balls out...

stock 7.5" rear end... I wanted to break it or take the wheels of the ground... and i think i came close to both lol...

is that HRP? Looks kinda similar

is that HRP? Looks kinda similar

Yup, HRP last sunday :-)

I saw "No N20" there also... he has a pretty clean setup

What was your 60'?

That run was

R/T: .071
60: 1.831
330: 5.426
1/8: 8.414
1/8mph: 82.79
1000: 11.004
1/4: 13.182
1/4 MPH: 103.63

All motor, no tricks... 2 1/4" exhaust...
im thinking 12's with a full 3"catback

Mod list? Not bad at all. With only a 1.8 60ft I doubt they were off the ground. But get you some 3.5" wide drag lites for the front and I bet the left from will see about .5-1" of air. I wish my T5 setup would have lasted behind my L98. I went through 2 T5s then gave up and put the 700R4 back in it :(

Definitely not.

the camero lol the camero

Definitely not.

I agree.

That was all suspension travel playing with the senses... Hard launch, no doubt, but the tires did not leave the ground IMHO.

Dont think so, need a lil more.
